Wales interim head coach Matt Sherratt has acknowledged the “major weapon” threat posed by Scotland’s back three ahead of today’s Guinness Six Nations clash at Murrayfield. Wales are chasing a seventh win from their last nine Six Nations trips to Edinburgh, but it is two years since they last tasted victory in the competition.

England have recalled Marcus Smith at full-back, while Tom Roebuck starts on the wing and Tommy Freeman moves to centre. Steve Borthwick's side realistically need to win with a bonus point and hope France slip up against Scotland. Victory for Wales, or even a losing bonus point, could well see them avoid he Wooden Spoon.
